I use it all the time now, even when my skirt has pockets. When I started wearing skirts, my thought was: "why didn't I try this sooner?". Now the same thing happened with the bag, it's so convenient, and no more bulky pockets.

It is a nice functional bag but is a little too techno and masculine for my liking since I like more feminine designs in purses. If I purchases this purse because it is very functional, I would go with the pink or purple color for a more feminine look.

I had TWO of the best bags ever made. They were made by Wilson Leather Goods.
Each bag lasted about 10-12 years, with daily use. They're no longer available and
can't get a pic of them. The closest I've found is a men's cross-body bag on Walmart.
I 'carry' it as either a shoulder bag or cross-body bag, depending on my location and mood

I've had to include the use of a wallet as the 'Man Bag' doesn't have dedicated spaces for ID or bank cards.
No coin purse, either.

It's a bit more 'trouble' than my original choice but, a person must work with what is available

J. Wilson London bags are available on amazon dot co dot uk. Here is a link to the store on amazon dot co dot uk.

Folks in the UK, like me, can buy items off amazon dot com, from the USA, though not all sellers will ship to the UK.
I believe that folks in the USA can buy items off amazon dot co dot uk, in the same way.
If the seller doesn't ship to the UK then a parcel forwarding service such as Reship should be able to help.

My first three handbags were all J. Wilson London bags.
